Having not heard of this before, I went looking for it.  It's a pseudo-X
server that you connect your clients to and it forwards the info on to
the real X server.  It apparently doesn't allow you to move individual
application windows - the whole client must be redirected to a new
display.  So it does half of what you want by (partially) implementing
an X server.

Version 2.0 seems to be the latest, which adds support for 16bit and 24
bit displays.
